(Adnkronos) - “Stiamo investendo moltissimo sulle infrastrutture verdi che sono uno dei quattro pilastri del piano di adattamento climatico,. Noi siamo tra le nove città italiane e le 100 città europee che devono provare a raggiungere la neutralità climatica al 2030 e senza il verde, le aree naturali protette e i boschi, questo non sarà possibile.” Così Sabrina Alfonsi, Assessore all'Agricoltura, Ambiente e Ciclo dei rifiuti del Comune di Roma, in rappresentanza del Sindaco, durante la conferenza “Stati Generali delle Aree protette italiane”, un confronto con i protagonisti del sistema delle aree naturali protette, presso la Biblioteca Nazionale di Roma.

00:00Green infrastructure is one of the four pillars of the climate adaptation plan and therefore we are investing a lot on this because Rome, a city that in a few years will have 70% of the world's population living in cities and metropolises, has to win the challenge of sustainability.
00:29We are among the 9 Italian cities and the 100 European cities that must try to reach climate neutrality by 2030 without green, without protected natural areas, without forests.
00:42This will absolutely not be possible.
00:44This is why we are working, for example, with the funds of the PNRR on urban reforestation.
00:5118 new forests will be born, real forests, because they are the ones that the PNRR finances within the city, within our protected areas.
01:03Then we have the post-binary, because we have the regional areas, but we also have all the areas that are actually managed by the municipality, but protected by the Roma Natura entity.
01:16We have a protection entity that is specifically for Rome, an entity with which we are also trying to change the course and to collaborate on important interventions.
01:28One of them is the Montemario Park, which has suffered a fire this summer and which has a common work in recent days.
01:37They did the hydrosemination, a common work of renaturalization.
01:42Or the large park, which is the Pineta di Castelfusano, which then obviously looks at the Parco delle Dune.
01:49We have one of the most important dune parks, which look more at the blue than the green, so at the sea, at the river, which are the places where we can work on biodiversity.
02:06We also have the Malino Natural Park, with the Torpaterno drylands.
02:11All this is at the expense of the President's great commitment, so it is essential to keep the President with whom we constantly collaborate.
02:19One of the interventions of PNRR will be precisely in their commitment.
02:24It is clear that in these sectors there must be the same identical vision and above all the same intentions of all institutions,
02:33because the skills are too many and therefore there is a risk of not being able to make interventions because there is no collaboration between entities.
02:41The President's commitment to the best agronomists is a very good director, Giulia Bonelli.
02:49They did all the possible studies to try to save it and then they took this decision, which seems a drastic decision, but it is a decision that actually looks much more to the future.
03:02When we arrived, Castelfusano's pine forest was already very compromised and Castelfusano's was also quite compromised.
03:15We immediately carried out an endotherapy intervention for the Tumeghiela, we also did a second one.
03:24I don't know if it was for these endotherapies or for reasons that are difficult for us to find.
03:39The truth is that we are doing, we have entered, I thank Cufa very much in this project of Cufa with MIT,
03:51precisely through artificial intelligence, through new technologies, to try to prevent all parasites,
04:01the attacks that trees have, especially within the forests or our urban forests or our roads.
04:10That is the way, because we have seen, as well as Covid, as well as the Tumeghiela, as well as the Punteruolo Rosso,
04:17as well as all the latest aggressions that our trees have had, we have to work a lot on prevention.
